How bad is the dent? Use a heat gun (or good hair dryer) to get it hot. Immediately poor ice cold water (or dry ice if available) on it and it might pop out. You can also buy special suction cups designed for pdr (paint-less dent repair) that might pull it depending on how bad.

We have these for both of our dogs. I ordered a Large for the lab and a medium for the Border Collie/Shepard mix puppy. If ordering again I'd order each one size bigger. Seem to work, dogs don't mind wearing them, and not very expensive.

Got out on the boat again this weekend with much better results. I had fewer people on the boat. was towing a smaller tub, and kept people more to the back. That combination of changes fixed the cavitation issue. The motor is mounted in the lowest hole so remounting it lower won't be an...

I am the new owner of a Bennington 2275RL!!!!! Yamaha 150FL (incorrectly stated above Mercury). Spent several hours on the lake and it seems to run great. Top speed was 33MPH according to speedometer and phone GPS. This is with the Full Length bimini top up. I'm hoping for closer to...

It's a tritoon and it does have lifting stakes.

I've never owned a boat before and might be buying a 2008 Benington 2275RL. I looked at the boat today on the trailer, and am going back tomorrow for a lake test. I had a few concerns, I'd appreciate any feedback on how big of an issue these might be. 1. The boat has been stored in a covered...
